A member asked:
My limp nodes on my right side are swollen all the way up the right side of my neck. they are like knots and tender. why is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be infection: Everyone has cervical lymph nodes, which are normally the size and shape of small beans, less than 1 cm, smaller than a dime. If they are growing, if there are large numbers of them, or if they hurt, one can have a primary care doctor examine them. In young adults and kids, big nodes are almost always from infections. In people a bit older, or in the very unlucky of any age, they can be cancer.
